Class update

Autumn 2024

2.9.24-20.9.24 

We have had a wonderful first three weeks of the Autumn term. It has been lovely getting to know everyone properly and settling in to our new year 5 routines.  This terms topic is Ble rwyt ti’n byw? Where do you live? With our class topic ‘On Our Doorstep’. We will be focussing on the current geographical features of Trellech and then stepping back in time to see what would have been on our doorstep during World War Two. The children have come up with some wonderful ideas during our pupil voice sessions on what they would like to learn about during the topic. We have begun in earnest by walking around the village with Dosbarth 6, identifying human and physical geographical features, noting their location and purpose. For literacy, we are reading the novel “The Valley of the Lost Secrets”, set in the Welsh valleys during World War Two. We have begun to map out the characters and the connections they have with each other. On Wednesday we were incredibly lucky to have a live lesson with the author Katherine Rundell on her new novel “Impossible Creatures” which we are reading together at the end of the day. The children gained lots of tips and tricks from such an acclaimed author. Shortly, years 5 and 6 will be launching our Caffi Cynefin so our ICT lessons have focussed on creating advertising using Adobe. These are contained in the newsletter so please take a look and we very much hope you will be able to join us. We have definitely had a healthy start to the year as each Monday we are fortunate to have Newport County football join us to teach us. This week was about strength, stamina and fitness and the sports that require different combinations of these skills. Finally, today we joined our other cluster schools in Usk Primary School for a sports event. Diolch to MonLife for organising such a fun event where the children all got to participate in such a range of exciting activities. Have a lovely weekend.
